I have read where 98-02 F Body headers fit well. I'm waiting to see how the new TSP 1 7/8" Stainless Headers fit up in the F bodies and if in fact they will fit in the 68-72 A Bodies as well.

I used Dougs headers and adapter plates. Fit is very good, quality is fantastic. Best ground clearance out there. They are available coated or raw.
